“If you stop us from abusing you, then WE WILL ABUSE YOU...!”

My head hurts.

Don’t block it...tax the hell out of it.

[tbw2]

We don’t have to block it - just tax it at an income tax rate if the person sending it isn’t a verified citizen as unpaid income tax.

Mexico will cut off the supply of pinatas, DOS Equis,Tres Equis, Corona, chicle, and onyx chess sets. However, the drugs will still flow.

If we use and enforce E-Verify we don’t have to worry about “remittance”.

[Seaplaner]

then joint efforts to stop money laundering and other illicit forms of finance will be dealt a dangerous setback, a senior Mexican official warned Thursday.

Hmmm, might be a "win-win".

It's not as though we trust them in a "joint" effort, aren't they the very model of government corruption?

Just like the Islamics — the terrorists will terrorize you if you fight back against their terrorism.

Mexicans in the U.S. send $24 billion back to Mexico each year. Put a tax on electronic fund transfers and use that to pay for the wall. Make the tax low enough that they won’t go to some other method of fund transfer. Taxing the fund transfers WILL make Mexico pay for the wall.

You should be put in charge of that.

Looking forward to those repercussions from mejico but more-so the blocking of remittances by illegal aliens.

Viva Donald Trump!

It’s interesting to see just how easily Trump got their full attention. At first, bluster, bravado on their part. Then Trump, in one sentence, says that we will block the illegals transfer of money and use that to build the wall. Suddenly they are sitting at attention and barking madly. Way too funny.

Ya all had it too easy with the appeaser in chief running the dog and pony show... it isn’t going to be easy street once we get obama out and gone. Don’t get used to having your way... we are a strong country and will once again have strong leadership.

[Rurudyne]

Respect our borders by asking to come in and there’d be no reason to restrict folks sending money home.

[Nifster]

Oh noes. Mexico is threatening to hold their breath

[rwh]

Yep. This stems from a failure of our Government to enforce our laws. However, taxing the hell out of cash going south is part of the solution.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

They have an influx of indigenous SA’s (who they hate and don’t want to take care of) and send them on up to us.

[Cobra64]

Yup. I'd enforce E-Verify. Any company complicit with hiring illegals, the CEO would be subject to confiscation of all personal assets and mandatory five years in solitary confinement in a federal prison.

Time to get tough and enforce current laws with strong consequences.
